Sevilla advance to last 16 despite losing at Eindhoven

This result earned him but did not prevent him. suffer in the last minutes of a game that controls until then.

A goal each from former Sevilla player Luuk de Jong in the 77th minute, and Portugal’s Fabio Silva in extra time, aroused emotion at the end of the first half with a lot of struggle and little luck, the Spanish team held the lead well and a second that PSV was looking for a miracle.

Spanish team and Dutch not good this season in their local championships, Sevilla tried to move away from the relegation points and PSV strayed from their goal of becoming league champions, where the continental tournament was an option to find joy.

The team coached by Argentina’s Jorge Sampaoli has been more influential than a home visitor in these goings-on, which was evident last Thursday when they won 3-0 at the start of the draw.

Moreover, Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s men also failed badly away from home and got another opportunity in Eindhoven to confirm that they were much stronger with their own bravery, but the task of overcoming this round proved quite difficult for them. to them.

Sevilla traveled with multiple losses, as against Rayo (1-1) at Vallecas stadium last SundayBetween injured, suspended and indifferent, almost all accumulated in the defensive zone, with Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bono added to that, who was declared a last-minute start but was forced by an illness. He will hand over his post to Serbian Marko Dmitrovic.

The visitors concentrated before the predictable sudden start of the Dutch line-up and lingered for minutes near the castle defended by Argentinean Walter Benitez, with the mission of being the protagonist of the ball they got. .

Nevertheless, In the first half hour, the local keeper did not worry too much.only Brazilian Alex Telles took a high direct free kick and interceded in the middle of Argentina’s Marcos Acuña before Moroccan Youssef En-Nesyri arrived.

Not much happened in the other region. A mistake by Dmitrovic that young playmaker Xavi Simons didn’t react well to and little else, because it was Bryan Gil of Sevilla who already showed off the classy shine in the last part of the first period, but then it didn’t happen with the shots.

In the second half, the young winger kept his initiative from the start and after trying a very diagonal shot, he gave another very good pass to En-Nesyri, who was coaching the home keeper.

This urge to visit was tried to be neutralized by the local establishment.On the verge of completing the first quarter of an hour after the restart, having no choice but to show more than the first in his quest for the short goal in his draw shortcoming on the verge of completing his first two corner kicks, he was thrown for PSV throughout the game and also a headshot attempt from De Jong.

These sets turned into greater confidence for Van Nistelrooy’s men, who pressed on as with Belgium’s Johan Bakayoko’s double move, where Dmitrovic was wary, but Sevilla didn’t want to hide either and Croatia’s Ivan Rakitic found the crossbar in a shot. It would make 0-1.

Thus, the game entered the last quarter rhythmically and PSV found the score first. A very encouraging goal from De Jong in the 77th minute and the fans, and even the former Sevillista scored another goal shortly after, but was canceled due to offside by Portuguese Fábio Silva, who appeared during this period and added a lot to his team.

From there to the end, PSV pushed and Fábio Silva made the situation 2-0 in extra time. After the game paused for a few minutes, a spectator jumped onto the field and attacked Dmitrovich, who was then knocked down by security and a skirmish that was no longer paying off resumed.
